List of sovereign states by refugee population

Under international law, a refugee is a person who has fled their own country of nationality or habitual residence, and cannot return due to fear of persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. These recent migration movements are caused by a variety of reasons. Some refugees stay in refugee camps, some are urban refugees in individual accommodations, some stay in self-settled camps, and the location of some refugees is undefined or unknown by UNHCR.
